How can I reduce pain and swelling in my ankle after a fall?
I fell down and hurt my frontal and side right ankle and foot. I used ice and keep my foot elevated. Underwent xray showing normal report. Took Hifenac MR and applied Systaflam Gel on the area. Pain has reduced but still sometimes I feel pain while walking. Swelling has reduced but still there. I feel pressure and heaviness on calf muscles and back of thigh area. Kindly suggest.

There is a chance of soft tissue injury resulting in pain, swelling, pressure, and heaviness. I advise to see orthopedist for detailed examination with subsequent treatment plan. You are suggested to elevate and ice the part that is hurting and avoid the activities that worsen the symptoms.
